Waters As Truck Goes Through Ice

(delayed)

A very fortunate man is Stan New-
combe who lives at Gardner's Mill,
Horsefly Lake, where he is employed.
|Mr. Newcombe drove his pick-up
truck out on the glare ice of Horse-
fly Lakes As he drove past a point
known as “Dillabough’s Hill,” he
could see a fault ahead in the ice,
however, because of the smooth ice,
he was unable to stop and as he drove
into the fault, the truck started to
settle into the water, immediately
sinking. The door on the driver's
side was off, so he was able to grab
hold of a piece of the rack off the
truck afloat in the water. He called
for help, suffering a lot from the
icy water.

Monty Gunn, who lives on the op-
Posite side of the lake, was shaving
and watched worriedly as the truck
proceeded on the ice, knowing of the
weak spot in its path. In a few mo-
ments Mrs. Gunn called to her hus-
band that she could no longer see
the truck. Monty grabbed his ice
scooter and a rope and headed for
the scene of the accident By this
time Mr. Peters and Mr. Herron
were almost within reach of the
stricken man who was by now so
numbed he was on the point of let-
‘ting loose of the rack. By means of
ropes, his rescuers were able to get
him to safety. Mr. Newcombe was
none the worse for His near-tragic
experience and was on the job at the
mill next day.

P. B. Bourelle is making an effort
to salvage the Newcombe truck from
about two hundred feet of water in
Horsefly Lake. They have spotted the
truck,

WM. J. WALKER went to Vancou-
ver for treatment on his eye. He is
home again feeling much better,
MRS. M. D. GRUHS, who spent the
winter at the home of her daughter
and son-in-law, the J. M. Williams,
is back in her little cottage again.
WE SEE W. J. Boswell out and
about again and getting ready for
the spring trapping. He has been
here in Horsefly for nearly fifty
years,

R. L. GIBBONS is out enjoying
these sunny days after his illness.
SIGNS OX SPRING! Your corres-
pondent has seen robins and crows
and Nas heard a killdeer although
within the last week we have had
three inches of snow and near-zero
temperatures.

serious illness remained a very
real problem for many Canadian
families until quite recently.

The most generally satisfac-
tory method of meeting this
problem—health insurance — has
been in existence for many years,
But few people had this protec-
tion until 1940, Since then, their
numbers have increased at a
truly amazing rate.

Today, 5% million Canadians
have voluntary insurance against
the burden of hospital costs.
Nearly 4 million enjoy protec-
tion against surgical expense.
And about 3 million have the
newest form of protection : med-

ical expense insurance. Most of
these people have acquired this
protection in the last ten years!

Where did all these people
obtain this much-needed help?

Mostly from insurance com-
panies, Blue Cross plans, and
medical care plans which are

HEALTH INSURANCE

«+» how millions of Canadians are voluntarily

against the cost of illness and accidents

‘ountry. For a fi
joint Committee on Health Insurance, 302 Bay St., Toronto, On,

THE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA

's and their families

sponsored by the medical pro-
fession, Others acquired protec-
tion from insurance co-opera-
tives, fraternal benefit societies,
employee benefit associations.

Keen competition among the
various insuring agencies has
brought a. steady broadening of
benefits and greater protection
for an ever-increasing number of
Canadians. Thus today most of
the hazards of illness and acci-
dental injury may be covered
through voluntary insurance .
plas offered by one or more of
these agencies.

This striking record of
achievement proves two facts :
Ie proves that Canadians have
foresight and initiative in help-
ing themselves to meet the un-
predictable costs of accidents
and illness. And it demonstrates
the ability of insuring agencies
to provide service that meets the
greatest needs of the greatest
number of citizens.

The Life Insurance Companies
in Canada are proud that they
have been able to provide a large
share of this vital service!
